Newborn Needs
We’ve enlisted the help of new mum Danielle to share with us her tips when buying for a newborn.
“Those first few weeks with a newborn baby are joyous and overwhelming in equal parts. It is a time for lots of feeding, lots of napping, lots of changes and let’s not forget bonding. My baby arrived 3 weeks early and so I encourage all new parents to be as organised as possible. Have everything you need purchased, washed and ready to go for whenever bub decides to arrive. I remember being tempted by lots of colourful and gender specific clothing but a good friend reminded me that babies grow fast and that if I purchased good quality gender neutral items then they could be reused. Here is a short-list of my must haves from the G’day baby newborn collection. Keep in mind, if you don’t intend on washing daily be prepared to up the quantities. Wishing you all a magical experience for the arrival of your bundle of joy. xo Dani

2 Sheer Cotton wraps
(4 wraps might seem excessive but they will be needed… as blankets, as pram covers, for tummy time, for swaddling)
2 Beanies
4 Singlets
2 Bodysuit tee’s (long or short sleeve to match your climate)
2 Footed pants
2 Zip-up sleep suits with feet
